The Sweet Wine Bill.
WASHINGTON, December 10Th Senator
Stanford thinks the way to enact the sweet
wine bill is by removing all internal reve-
nue. taxes. He says: " | am in favor of re-
peallng the internal revenue tax on whisky
and tobacco. The abuse of whisky should
not confound us in treating it as a taxable
article. Arsenic and strychnine are put to
bad use often, but we don't tax these
articles for that reason. The way to pre-
vent the misuse of whisky should be
matter of subsequent action, and should
not enter into the consideration of the re-
moval of the internal revenue tax"
To Reduce the Surplus

Butler to day introduced q bill to license

New YORK, December I5th.-This even
ing the National Republican Club held a
meeting at Cooper Union. Hon. J. P.
Lynch, the colored orator OF Mississippi,
said he was here to speak on the suppress
sion of the colored vote in the South. "Bv
form of law" he said, Cleveland is Presi-
dent, but he has no more right there than
he has to the throne of Great Britain.
cleveland could no more get the electoral
votes OF Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina than he could those of Pennsyl-
yania, Vermont and Ohio. There are over
10000 more colored men than white in
Mississippi. Not less than one-third of the
whites vote the Republican ticket
and no more than one-tenth of the black
vote the Democratic ticket. The State is
always surely Democratic. They go through
the form of an election down there. but as
soon as the Democratic conventions are over
the polls are closed. Sometimes there is
difficulty in getting Democrats to falsify
the returns, but when frustrated in this
way they sometimes resort to violence.
These frauds are perpetrated mainly be-
cause the general sentiment of the country
tolerate them. Until the people of the
North get their eyes open these things will
continue in the South. The speakers idea
OF remedy was to reduce the representa-
ton of the Southern States Then. if the
colored men could not be represented, they
would have the satisfaction of knowing
that their vote was not going to the enemy.

Garland's Special haens vncovers His
Pandor.t Box.
Copyright, 1857, ty De Ca!VOnta Assoeatea Press
WASHINGTON, December l5.h.-Attornev-
General Garland this morning sent 10
President Cleveland the report of Special
agent Chalmers on his investigation of the
United States judicial affairs in California.
The President, the Attorney General. Rem
resentative Morrow and Special Agent
Chalmers are the only persons who have
seen the report. 1t hss not been given to
the public, and both The President and Al
torney- y-General refuse for the present 10
consent to its publication. Chalmers has
talked about his report in a manner that
enables shrewd guess to be made as to its
contents, bur the document itself cannot
be obtained.
In the first place, the accounts of the
Federal judicial officers of the coast have
been ascertained TO be absolutely correct.
Cna mers has, however, made a report
which lnv0lVes-if not the inteeritv-at
least the competency Of the United States
District Attorney and Judges SAWYER and
Hoffman. Mr.. Carey is alleged to be in
competent, and not to have administered
his office in capable manner.
Inc District Attorney has written to
friends here, expressing his desire to meet
and answer any and all charges that NAV
be laid against him. He intimaies that
the opposition with which he is oblised to
contend has been inspired by poli,ica! en-
emles, and IS the outcome of the old Stock
ton Convention fight.
So far IS the charges affecting Judges
Sawyer and Hoffman are concerned. Chal-
mers tells what he knows and has been in
formed OF the fees obtained as result of
the habeas corpus cases before the United
States Courts in San Francisco. These
Judges, in their recent statement given to
the public, say that from the time of the
passage of the Act of 1882 uD to April I,
1887, only ,4S2 Chinese have been admitted
to the country under the rulings of the
Court, as against 2, 140 admitted by the Gus
toms officers. During that period the
Judges say, 1860 Chinese left the country
that are fitted to return.
Chalmers report is assuredly adverse to
the methods of administering Justice in the
United States Courts on the Pacific coast.
but until the report itself is made public it
is impossible to accurately state its contents.

allow Canadians all the rights there, and
also pay the indemnity, which they claim is
due on the seizure of about twenty of the
Canadian vessels during the last two years,
and which is estimated at $500 900, then the
English and Canadian authorities will

A Young Lady Driven to Insanity by 1
Stage Tragedy.

WASHINGTON, December Is h-During
the performance of Article A." by Clara
Norris at the Grand Opera House to- night,
Annie Horton, great-granddaughter of ohm
c. Calhoun, who is now an employe in the
Postoffice Department, became violently
insane during the scene in which Clara is
shot by George Duhamel. Five or six
years ago Miss Horton fired several shots
at George Morgan, son of Senator Morgan
of Alabama, and it is thought that the
scene on the stage recalled the affair so
vividly as to unbalance her mind.
